"RETIRED" ROCK and ROLLER'S: Obtaining their signatures - anyone got a need or a story?

There are those Rock and Rollers that for all intended purposes, are all but "retired". Christine McVie comes to mind for me, as I have a 1990 Fleetwood Mac tour book that has all 5 of the other band members signatures from that tour, but for over 15 years I have been needing her to complete it.

CLASSIC ROCK BANDS are hitting the road this summer!!

Though it is not easy, and in fact it can be almost immpossible, obtaining signatures from many of the classic rock bands and artists is a possibility as many are hitting the road this summer: U2, Eagles, Paul McCartney, Stephen Sills (and CS&N), Tom Petty, Sting, and many others are out on tour.

Autographed Drum Heads

One of the coolest items of Rock and Roll Memorabilia to get signed, are DRUM HEADS. Drum Heads, as far as instruments are concerned, are one of the easiest items to carry around as you are working on your autographing quest, leaves plenty of room for multiple band members or inscriptions, and once finished store very well, and/or frame very easy. Try using BLUE ink for your signatures (longest lasting color) and for me, frosted heads over the clear ones.…
